This curated global conversation launches a new initiative exploring how media can evolve beyond entertainment into a powerful force for peace, prosperity, and human flourishing.

🌟 The Big Idea 🌟
A growing group of leaders is exploring a simple but transformative proposal:
🌟 What if media platforms committed just 2% of their content budgets to uplifting, world-positive storytelling?
Stories that elevate humanity.
Stories that inspire cooperation.
Stories that make peace entertaining!
✨…and what if those stories were distributed to all of humanity?
Across platforms
Across continents
Across cultures
🌟 What if media platforms have the unique ability to unite humanity in stories that inspire and engage a shared human experience?
A new media moment, ie the “Overview Effect” of the moon landing
A new biblical story of our time, ie the “Now Testament.”
A new platform that showcases and engages positive people, stories and community into a global shared experience.
… imagine what is possible. ✨✨✨
